navy. so then u.s. navy right now, which is probably the centerpiece service for dealing with china's rise, has about 285 major ships as they define them. and that's in contrast to twice that many in the 1980s, and about 350 even in the 1990s. so in other words, it's substantially less. meanwhile, china has substantially increased its fleet. i'm not saying we should be ready for an all-out fight with china navally but i am suggesting that our ability to sustain presence and commitment and keep the region stable and help persuade china to rise in a generally reasonable and peaceful way, does depend on our being able to sustain capability . the navy has tried and president obama i think with a very smart rebalanced policy has tried to say we are going to base a little higher fraction of the navy in the western pacific region so the historic average of 50% is now being increased to 60% by the end of this decade. that's the trajectory that we're on. and that makes good sense. that's just a way hillary clint

the unmanned aircraft the navy has designed. they decided not to produce it as a production aircraft, but to turn it into a tanker. it was called sea barge. it was also called stingray. whatever we're calling it this month, it will be interesting to see how it relates to the carrier. incredibly useful in day-to-day operations and contingency operations. a lot of question about their usefulness and conflict with it your competitor. theon the eastern edge of asian mainland. i think you'll see that played out because an unmanned aircraft would give the carrier much greater range. right now the air wing is very short-legged. back at used to have a range of is down00 miles, now it to 500 miles. might have bridged that gap. the navy decided they could not by both and decided to go with the short ranged f-35. looking at the air force, you are seeing this played out again. center dot round the a 10 -- centered around the a-10. if you want to penetrate sophisticated air defenses, the a-10 cannot do that for you. you need to move to the f
